Murphy's Law: Brendan Sorsby deserves empathy ... but not eligibility.

Strong cover. 🎮

Who will Iowa State fans miss the most?

You also have schools that pay coaches $13M (and soaring) and pay team weightlifting coaches $1M+. Congress gonna cap their earnings, too?

Nick Saban: "Now you have schools that have close to $40M rosters [in football]. If we continue to do that were going to lose olympic sports, were gonna lose non revenue sports. We're gonna have football and basketball succeed and were going to have club sports for everything else with no scholarships."

Gordon Gee: "We’ve turned over too much power to commissioners. The word 'student' is not in their lexicon. The word 'athlete' and 'money' is. I don’t mean to throw them under a bus, though I just did."

Nick Saban, discussing collectives, outlines what Alabama was working with Says he had $2.7 million in his first year of NIL, then $7 million, and then $10 million. After he retired, he said it jumped to $17 million, then $24 million. “Now you have schools at $40 million”

@Edwardsmith6969 You should be fine. He placed thousands.

@KeithMurphy 40 bets is an addiction?????? Oh boy I’m fucked

Brendan Sorsby should never play college football again.

That's it for Justin Verlander. What a night. Final line: 5 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 3 K, 0 BB. Threw 64 pitches including 48 for strikes. Topped out at 95.1 mph. Generated 8 whiffs.

That's fair.

@MamaNeedsFball @AndrewCDowns @Murph_Andy It's such a head-scratching time.

I understand Milan’s the most. College sports are a business… TJ had to plan ahead and couldn’t hold the door. I get it. Coach had to make a decision for the team….i am sure it was hard on TJ and Milan. I wish him the best. It’s life changing money… Although Audi was surprising to the fans…. For me…. The football players are the most difficult me. It is just tough. Part of me wishes them well and part of me wants to just move on from it because it’s silly to be upset about players leaving. Part of me wants them to kick @ss at Penn State because that’s the ISU team that we’ve cheered many years for…traveled to watch… agonized over close losses and cebrated raucously…. It’s the team that everyone says was mid-level because it was part of the Big 12 …And part of me wants them to pound sand ( the small petty side…. I’ll move on.)

Interesting question: of these three transfers, which will be most difficult for cyclone fans to watch in a different uniform?

@Laughatthem123 I don’t think men should play in women’s competitive sports—as I’ve said previously—but have no idea what that has to do with Brendan Sorsby’s gambling.

@KeithMurphy What about men in women's sports there kieth.....ya coward

My quick thoughts on the Indiana Fever revoking beat reporter Scott Agness's credentials. This won't end well for the Fever.

Agness gets credential revoked by Fever. "Indiana Fever public relations informed me via email that my credentialed access to all team events had been revoked. They said it was due to “the spread of inaccurate and unsubstantiated information” and cited my tweet about Caitlin Clark being ruled out 100 minutes before they defeated the Portland Fire on May 20." Fever, file this under "Bad Ideas". Just drew more attention to a story you want to go away.
